G'day beloved ms family. All well and having a good day so far, and a good night last night,

I was wondering where is everybody. I normally see lots of ongoing messages from people, lately much less so. Are we all okay? I hope this is the case and that the group has not shrunk.

I’m back at work after Covid and am TIRED but it is getting better. I’m trying to map out a light exercise routine that I will actually follow through with; then I am seriously needing to declutter around the house; my brain is ping ponging all over the place lol. Hope you are doing ok Royce!

I've noticed this too. I suspect it's a combination of factors, at least in the US. This is a tumultuous period culturally/politically, pandemic fatigue afflicts many of us, in many regions this is the hard part of winter, all of which combined may lead to depression and withdrawal. I hope that like spring bulbs, we will all reemerge from darkness into light VERY SOON.

I’m here and ok...just totally fatigued because - you know, new year + new insurance = frustration and Tysabri delay. Thanks for checking on us.

Been a little busy? I tried to do my taxes using a tax program, which told me my computer was too old. So, I mentioned it to my son, who is an I.T. guru, working as such, and he told me no problem, we just need to upgrade your operating system. I thought great? Last time this came up, it was going to cost a gazillion dollars in software, and, and...well just got a new computer. He told me, no it won't cost anything (maybe not monetarily, but...) Well, when you do and operating system change, especially upgrading many versions, that opens a whole lot of other issues. Besides the fact that my computer didn't have enough storage to do so, without rearranging and using the external drive I used exclusively to save backups, once the operating system was up and running, had to learn it all again! Many, many changes when you skip updating so many operating systems over the years. Like where did my checkbook/finance program go? No longer supported?,...need to upgrade that too? Made many upgrades on line, all at no cost, except on me? But the one I will really miss, and a word of warning, NEVER EVER use your stickies (the computer post-it notes) to store anything you can't live without. I probably had hundreds. Gone! Everything from birthdays, the day I was diagnosed,.....on, and on, and on. It was convenient, and I know how to use a sticky note, so this was great. All on one screen! Until!!! But never going to be able to see any of those again. Even with backup's, unless I want to undo the operating system upgrade, which took days, 2 hours for this, 4 hours for that.....days! Even supervised from halfway across the country every step of the way from an international IT supervisor who writes and controls their locations software systems, doing stuff don't even ask my to explain, it's WAY over my head. Watching my computer controlled remotely, which I've seen many times before from help desks for this or that, but this was all greek even to someone who started with computers back in the day, having to write programs to do anything back then as little existed, no internet,..... Imagine that? My state college computer department housed a computer used by the department of defense back in the day. It was 8 stories tall? And about 80% was used physically for the computer. Now our phones are probably as powerful?Anyway, I'm back. My computer is once again working, though I still have probably days till I stop where did that go? Look for it....make an alias somewhere so I can get to it easier than the hour it took to find? I will miss my I made this dish before, let me just search it so I can do it again....not so easy anymore. All the backing up in the world and it all changes when you do what I had to do. So, using my phone to at least somewhat keep in touch, well I really need that big screen. I'm back!

So, how have you & everyone else been? And I forgot, been shoveling feet of snow, and getting another 5" tonight, and then it goes down to Arctic Temperatures. A month ago, we were still admiring our green grass, loving it, while out east they had feet of snow, and kept thinking better them than us!

Hiiiii. I've just been a little busy. Just got the results that my daughter has covid. She's been in her room for 6 days now. My husband and I just got tested today and my son gets tested next week at his pediatricians office. I'm out of my part time job until my covid test results come back. Taking care of the family and my fur babies. 😊 Praying 🙏 my daughter gets better soon and Praying 🙏 the rest of us in this house don't catch that covid thing. Sanitizing everything (even the air we breathe). That's been my week so far. How have you been? 😊♥️🌹

I am here. I just haven't posted much. I mostly read the posts & move on. I agree though that there doesn't seem to be as many on the site as there used to be.
